'Skyfall' sequel, 'James Bond 24,' will begin filming in October 2014 according to star

More than two years after the release of Skyfall, the next chapter in the James Bond franchise will begin filming.

According to actor Ralph Fiennes (who portrays the new "M" in the James Bond series), the sequel to Skyfall will begin filming in October of 2014 with a release date set for November 6, 2015. Skyfall director Sam Mendes is returning for the follow-up along with Daniel Craig, who we all know now as the suave secret agent.

For now, the film has the working title James Bond 24 (or just Bond 24), but we should expect an official title sometime around shooting.

"It's meant to start shooting in October," the Grand Budapest Hotel star explained to MTV. "I haven't read a script yet, so I can't tell you much. They'd probably swear me to secrecy anyway."

So there isn't a script yet, at lease not one that has been given to the stars of the film, but that will hopefully be completed shortly.

Slashfilm reports:

Screenwriter John Logan is once again writing this latest Bond adventure, but not much is known yet. Except, of course, that Fiennes will be back along with Bond himself, Daniel Craig. Skyfall was the most successful Bond film in the franchise's illustrious history, grossing over $300 million domestic and over $1 billion worldwide. Mendes wasn't sure whether or not he would return, but eventually the call of the world's most famous spy was too much.
